Hi there guys,

Only I recently started experimenting the blogging platform, and yeah I know I was pretty late. I 'd like to know how do you guys drive traffic to your own blogs?
and I mean genuine traffic where ppl leave feedback and create back links.
Much appreciated.

P.S. my blog link is in my signature.

    Blog a lot and make every post revolve around a keyword.

    Then at least go to pingler.com after every post and ping the blog.

    Also...

    Go to kping.com after every post and let the blog directories know you have a new post.

      Like TL said.
      Also don't be surprised if you don't get any comments or only a few.
      From my experiences it seems most people will just read and leave.

        If you have a subscriber list, let them know about your blog updates, and ask them to post their opinion/comments and tell a friend. It works!

    I would say the above post is really good idea. I also have a blog that gets a reasonable ammount of traffic but very few comments. I find that quite frustrating at times.
    I am going to do what myob suggests, don't know why I hadn't thought of that.

    there are blog swap / resource type sites such as entrecard.com and cmfads.com , it's been ages since i visited those sites but they should still exist.

  • Social bookmarking (digg, reddit, mixx, delicious, folkd) and social networking (facebook, orkut, myspace, twitter) are good source of traffic.

    Up top click "search", type "traffic" as your search term. Put aside a couple of weeks to read all the results.
